# Bitchat C++

A cross-platform Bluetooth mesh chat application written in C++ with platform abstraction. Bitchat enables peer-to-peer messaging over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) without requiring internet connectivity or centralized servers.

[![Build](https://github.com/bitchatz/bitchatz-cpp/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/bitchatz/bitchatz-cpp/actions/workflows/build.yml)

## 🚀 Quick Start

Bitchat is a cross-platform Bluetooth mesh chat application. Get started quickly with the [Usage Guide](extras/docs/usage.md) or dive into the [Development Guide](extras/docs/development.md) for building from source.

## 💬 How It Works

Bitchat creates a decentralized mesh network where devices communicate directly via Bluetooth Low Energy:

- **Mesh Networking** 🔗: Each device acts as both a sender and relay, forwarding messages to extend the network range
- **BLE Transport** 📡: Uses Bluetooth Low Energy for device discovery and data transmission
- **Cryptographic Security** 🔐: Ed25519 signatures ensure message authenticity and prevent tampering
- **Data Compression** 📦: LZ4 compression reduces bandwidth usage and improves transmission speed
- **Channel-based Communication** 💬: Users can join different channels for organized conversations
